Courgette Glut: Courgette Lasgane ⋆ SHE EATS

The courgettes have stopped growing like mad now and I am down to a couple of big, watery specimens glaring at me in the kitchen.

This isn’t so much a recipe as an ingredient swap.

Big ol’ courgettes make a perfect substitute for lasagne sheets and make the dish slightly lighter for summer eating.

What you need

Courgette lasagne-what you need

Large courgette, sliced (mine is thickish so it doesn’t collapse on the griddle)
You favourite bolognaise recipe
Cheese sauce (I used some left over Philly, milk and cheese)
Grated cheese

What you do

Make bolagniase to your own recipe (unsurprisingly mine was heavy on courgette!)
Pre-heat oven to 200c
Heat a griddle pan, season your courgette slices, drizzle with oil and griddle on each side for approx 3-4 mins a side until soft
Layer up as you would a normal lasagne: meat, courgette, cheese sauce, meat courgette, cheese sauce… finishing with courgette, cheese sauce and a generous layer of grated cheese
Put in oven and bake until the cheese is bubbling on top. It won’t take as long as a normal lasagne as the courgette is cooked through already. My two individual sized ones took about 20 minutes

Enjoy!
